With all the hype about Baker Mayfield entering the pros, and all the accompanying OU televised game video, it is upbeat not to see the Cyclones as the opposing team.
Cyclones not on TV.

I saw the Russell Wilson interview with Baker Mayfield in which he talks about hating to lose more than liking to win. Yet, no reference to his loss to us. And being handled by a former QB turned LB. Wish he had aimed some spite our way.
They should showcase Mayfield's "escapability" with this highlight.
I think most other years it would be almost impossible to craft an OU highlight film without Cyclone footage.
I love watching this play. You can see two related things: the point where Mayfield thinks Lanning gave up on the play and he's safe, and the point where Mayfield realizes he's suddenly not safe. If Mayfield keeps running back towards his linemen (instead of stopping within Lanning's range), he would've been in good shape.They should showcase Mayfield's "escapability" with this highlight.
Lanning shows his wrestling skills here by how quickly he goes from flat on his belly to back on his feet and in pursuit. I think Lanning's athleticism surprised Mayfield.
Say what you will about Mayfield but I think he is a competitor - albeit sometimes misguided - and I think he can offer respect to other competitors who best him. He seems to have a hard time with the respect of competitors who he bests at times, though.
Maybe so. But I have a hard time getting past the egos of some of these dudes...like him, Newton, Manziel, and others...
I agree. I was simply responding to someone's comments about him not talking trash about a team that bested his Sooners.
No thanks. I've had better offers.Well here's what Mayfield thinks of you, old lady!
could have found some good footage of Mayfield ripping ISU in the first few minutes of that game. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thought "here we go again" when the Sooners went up 14-0 that fast. I copied that game off of Youtube to rewatch, still not sure how or if ISU won.
BTW, Lanning and Lazard both thought very highly of his ability.
As if Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, etc. haven't acted in ways Baker gets knocked for. They all have huge egos. It's a sport where people bash each other. I never understood the idea that these people need to be all goody goody. It's fun to see personalities!
Which is precisely why I don't watch the pros. It's more about the game for me.
Newton. His name starts with an "N".
Let's just bring in some robots for ya then. Personalities are what makes sports fun. They bring attitude, flair to the sport.
I'm not saying I only want personality, obviously skill needs to be there, but a lot of the greats have had or do have that ego you talk about.
